“…In the case of linear systems, because the exact discretization of the continuous-time plant is possible, the sampled-data controller design is not difficult. However, in the case of nonlinear systems, the exact discretization is not possible, and so, to overcome this problem, various nonlinear sampled-data control techniques have been proposed, such as the Euler approximation [8,9] and the conversion to an input delay controller [10,11]. Sampled-data fuzzy control techniques, which are combination of the sampled-data control technique and the T-S fuzzy model, have also been proposed in many studies [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] and are categorized into the input delay conversion approach and the direct discrete-time design approach.…”
